lol C, but it was sitting on the last blue block, I usually only see it on the second to last unless I’m in range mode. My problem was I looked at the OVMS and saw the actual temperature, without that knowledge I would have been in peaceful ignorant bliss.
Interesting. My VDS shows the temps next to the blocks.

The PEM gets hotter at lower speeds in the summer. Less air movement, and still using power to drive the motor transistors.
At highway speeds it's slightly cooler (but less efficient)
 
Regarding temperatures on the VDS screen: Charge Thermal Limit warning
I was (also) getting those when I got my car back from Gruber. In the 9 years I had the car, I had never gotten that warning after charging over night. (I only got a battery overtemp on charging within the firs few months or ownership because the freon was low)

Apparently the PEM duct wasn't properly attached. I had to pull the PEM and reattach it,
